More about this scene
East of Market Deeping and joined to it is Deeping St James village. At its heart is this curious structure in medieval stone. The former village cross, it was built in the 15th century, but in 1819 the cross shaft was removed and the base, quite extraordinarily, was converted into the village lock-up.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I remember you, Deeping St James, I remember too a lady called Ethel Fennel, the orchard at gran's house, being late for mass and having to sit in the dock, the wind howling down Church Street late at night (spooky).
Dear Deeping St James, I am not a native of Deeping but my grandfather was born there in 1876. His family name was Bilton. His father was James and the family lived at Deeping Gate in or near the village. I was wondering if there are any Biltons still in the village. My husband and I are planning to visit the village very early in the New Year. He is also descended from the Bilton family. Regards, Glynis Jones
The Waterton Arms, in Church Street, used to be owned and run by Mary Elizabeth Mulligan. Her grandson Andrew Robert owned the house next door and the Pharmacy attached.
